Cleaning and prevention help avoid serious and costly dental problems and are key to maintaining a healthy, confident, and beautiful smile. At Example Dental Clinic, your cleaning appointment will include a dental examination and the following:
Calculus is plaque that has hardened over time and harbours bacteria. It is caused by the continual accumulation of minerals from saliva and becomes firmly attached to the tooth surface. Calculus forms above and below the gum line and can be harmful to gum health. It can only be removed using special dental instruments.
Plaque is a sticky, almost invisible film that forms on the teeth. It is a growing colony of bacteria, food debris, and saliva. These bacteria produce toxins (poisons) that inflame the gums. This inflammation is the beginning of periodontal disease.
Teeth polishing involves the removal of stains and plaque that are not otherwise removed during routine tooth brushing and scaling.
